Winery review: Fermentation of selected grapes in stainless steel tanks at controlled temperature. Aging in American oak casks for 5 months followed by 3 months in the bottle before being released in the market. Inky ruby. Ripe cherry and plum on the nose. Smooth and fleshy, with deep dark fruit flavors complicated by bitter chocolate and anise. A spicy quality adds lift and focus to the weighty fruit. Offers an appealing mix of power and energy and drinks very well right now.
My review: The wine smelled of cherries with a mix of something I couldn't put my finger on. The wine was dry but very velvety and smooth. I was surprised by how easy this wine went down. There was a tart initial taste and then a bubble gum after taste. It was quite interesting.
I tasted this on its own with no food.
